Scottish hunters search
for Loch Ness monster
DRUMNADROCHIT, Scotland
? Pouring rain and a thick
mist Saturday failed to dampen
the enthusiasm of hunters hoping
to win a halt-million-dollar reward
in the first major search for
the Loch Ness monster in three
years.
National oddsmakers at the
William Hill Organization Ltd.
have put up the cash ? 250,000
pounds, or $477,500 ? for the
first person or team to discover
"conclusive evidence" of the creature's
existence.

done, Pentagon says
WASHINGTON ? The U. S.
buildup on the Arabian peninsula
is virtually complete, but American
forces still lack the firepower
and supplies necessary to launch
a successful ground offensive
against Iraqi troops in Kuwait,
according to military officials.
The officials, in Washington
and Saudi Arabia, said all of the
heavy armor being shipped to
Saudi Arabia should arrive by
week's end, closing out the biggest
phase of the two-month deployment
and bringing to nearly
200,000 the number of American
troops in the region.
As evidence of the progress,
Navy sources said that for the

newspaper poll says
CHARLESTON ? If the
statewide elections were held
now, Republican Gov. Carroll
Campbell would garner three
times as many votes as his
Democratic challenger Sen. Theo
Mitchell, according to a poll published
Sunday.
The poll by the Charleston
Post-Courier newspaper and
WCBD-TV of Mount Pleasant
indicated that of the probable
voters polled, 65 percent would
vote for Campbell and 20 percent
for Mitchell.
In the closest statewide race,

Marijuana costs up,
SLED officials say
You can buy a hit of LSD for
$3, a rock of crack for $20 and a
small bag of cocaine for $2.5 in
South Carolina, but an ounce of
marijuana costs $125, more than
three times its price two years
ago, officials say.
Nationwide, marijuana has become
so expensive and hard to
find that cocaine dealers are offering
to trade their precious
powder for the mellowing weed,
once the drug of choice in the
1960s and 1970s, said Hugh
Munn, spokesman for the State
Law Enforcement Division.
Munn said marijuana is scarce
and high-priced because drug
smugglers have switched products,
preferring to peddle narcotics
that are less bulky and more
lucrative.

USC has a student group that believes
there is a great deal of campus resentment
directed toward them.
"We aren't here to make anyone else feel
uncomfortable, but to be here for each
other," a member said.
The Gay and Lesbian Student Association
(GLSA) was founded to be a suppport

Ct *r pus. One member said the purpose of
the group is to help each other cope with
resentment from straight people on campus.
One source of controversy occurs from
the fact that GLSA is funded through student
activity fees.
"People object to their money going to
support something they don't believe in. I
don't wan^ my money going to support
football, but a lot of it does," GLSA member
Shane Miller said.
The organization currently has about 40
members. President Jen Bacon said, "We
